Does anyone know how to make minature tapered glass funnels with 1 deg taper half angle, and 4 mm diameter input and 700 micron output and 95 mm length? A researcher in Australia used a modified tube puller (PY6, Narishige, Tokyo, Japan). However, he has since relocated and I am not able to contact him for help. Any help will be appreciated
